Therapist

You might be feeling exhausted from holding everything together, anxious about the future, or stuck in patterns that no longer fit who you are. I work primarily with women and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and trauma that can be hard to put into words. Many of my clients are new to therapy or haven’t always felt culturally safe or understood in past spaces. With me, you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain your whole identity just to be believed. Together, we’ll work toward you feeling more grounded, more confident, and more like yourself again.

You may understand that your past affects you today, yet still find yourself repeating patterns you desperately want to change.

Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. I’ll meet you where you are and help you find a path forward that feels right for you. Your story matters. Your healing matters. And your next chapter can look different from your last.
